receipt thereof by such Pledgor endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time specify. 
 (b) Deposit Accounts. As of the date hereof, no Pledgor has any Deposit Accounts other than the accounts listed in Schedule
13 to the Perfection Certificate. The Collateral Agent has a first priority security interest in each such Deposit Account, subject as to priority only to Permitted Liens (including with respect to the ABL Collateral the Liens of the ABL Agent

give the Collateral Agent prompt written notice that such new Deposit Account has been established with a Bank and (2) such Bank, such Pledgor and the Collateral Agent shall within sixty (60) days of the date of acquisition of such Deposit
Account have duly executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account, such time to be extended by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent agrees with each Pledgor that the

deposit are used for funding (w) payroll, (x) 401(K) and other retirement plans and employee benefits, including rabbi trusts for deferred compensation, (y) health care benefits and (z) escrow arrangements (e.g.,

the ABL Agent. 
 (c) Securities Accounts and Commodity Accounts. (i) As of the date hereof, no Pledgor has any
Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts other than those listed in Schedule 13 to the Perfection Certificate. The Collateral Agent has a first priority security interest in each such Securities Account and Commodity Account, which security
interest shall promptly be perfected by Control but in any event within 180 days of the date hereof. No Pledgor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity
Intermediary 

  

 -17- 








 
unless (1) it shall give the Collateral Agent prompt written notice that such new Securities Account or Commodity Account has been established and
(2) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, such Pledgor and the Collateral Agent shall within sixty (60) days of the date of the acquisition of such Securities Account or Commodity Account have duly
executed and delivered a Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account. Each Pledgor shall accept any cash and Investment Property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly deposit any and

instructions or directions to any issuer of uncertificated securities, Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such Pledgor, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such investment and withdrawal rights, would occur. The provisions of this Section 3.4(c) shall not apply to any Financial Assets credited to a Securities Account for
which the Collateral Agent is the Securities Intermediary. No Pledgor shall grant Control over any Investment Property to any person other than the Collateral Agent. 
 (ii) As between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Pledgors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property
and Pledged Securities, and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of the Investment Property and Pledged Securities, whether in the possession of, or maintained as a Security Entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the Control of, the

Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction) other than such Electronic Chattel Paper and
transferable records listed in Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record, the
Pledgor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall on or before the first Quarterly Update Date following the receipt thereof by such Pledgor notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or,
as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that such amount, together

opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under
Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without
loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record. 
 (e) Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued, such
Pledgor shall on or before the first Quarterly Update Date following the receipt thereof by such Pledgor notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Pledgor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to an agreement in customary and
appropriate form and substance, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for
the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in the Indenture. The
actions in the preceding sentence shall not be required to the extent that the amount of any such Letter of Credit, together with the aggregate amount of all other Letters of Credit for which the actions described above in clause (i) and

at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, such Pledgor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest
therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that the amount of such Commercial Tort Claim, together with the amount of all other Commercial Tort
Claims held by any Pledgor in which the Collateral Agent does not have a security interest, does not exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate for all Pledgors.

 -19- 








 
Access Agreement and/or landlord’s lien waiver, as applicable, from all landlords, who from time to time have possession of any Pledged Collateral if
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall not be required to seek to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement and/or landlord’s lien waiver, as applicable, at any locations if the value of the
Pledged Collateral maintained at such location is less than $1,000,000 in the aggregate, provided, further, however, a Collateral Access Agreement and/or landlord’s lien waiver, as applicable, shall be required by the
Collateral Agent for each location for which the ABL Agent has received a landlord access agreement and/or landlord’s lien waiver. 
 SECTION 3.5. Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Pledgors shall cause each Subsidiary of the Issuer which, from time to time, after the date hereof shall be required to pledge any assets to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of

Perfection Certificate, in each case, within thirty (30) days of the date on which it was acquired or created, and upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a “Pledgor” for all
purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of
each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Pledgor as a party to this Agreement. 
 SECTION 3.6. Supplements; Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Collateral Agent such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments,

 ARTICLE IV 
 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS 
 Each Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as follows: 
 SECTION 4.1. Title. Except for the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens, such Pledgor owns and has rights and,
as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will own and have rights in each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. 
 SECTION 4.2. Validity of Security Interest. The security interest in and Lien on the Pledged Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder constitutes (a) a legal and valid security interest in all the Pledged Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, and (b) subject to the filings and other actions
described in Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate (to the extent required to be listed on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate as of the date this representation is made or deemed made) being duly made, a perfected security
interest in all the Pledged Collateral, except as otherwise provided herein. The security interest and Lien granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on the Pledged Collateral will at

cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Liens. There is no agreement, order, judgment or decree, and no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or
take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with such Pledgor’s obligations or the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder to the extent reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect and after giving effect to Sections 9-406(d), 9-407(a), 9-408(a) or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity.

 CERTAIN PROVISIONS CONCERNING INTELLECTUAL 
 PROPERTY COLLATERAL 
 SECTION 6.1. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of
Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Article X hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Pledgor shall grant to the Collateral Agent,
to the extent assignable, a non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located. Such license shall include access
to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof. 
 SECTION 6.2. Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security. On a continuing basis, each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) on or before the first Quarterly Update Date following its becoming aware thereof, notify
the Collateral Agent of any adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or administrative body or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright

Collateral Agent in relation thereto including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, (iv) except in each case as could not have resulted in a Material Adverse Effect, not license
any Intellectual Property Collateral other than licenses entered into by such Pledgor in, or incidental to, the prudent conduct of business, or amend or permit the amendment of any of the licenses in a manner that materially and adversely affects
the right to receive payments thereunder, or in any manner that would materially impair the value of any Intellectual Property Collateral or the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral created therein hereby and
(v) furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to any
Intellectual Property Collateral as the Collateral Agent may from time to time request pursuant to an instruction from the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 
 SECTION 6.3. After-Acquired Property. If any Pledgor shall at any time after the date hereof (i) obtain any rights to any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or (ii) become entitled to the
benefit of any additional Intellectual Property Collateral or any 

  

 -26- 








 
renewal or extension thereof, including any reissue, division, continuation, or continuation-in-part of any Intellectual Property Collateral, or any
improvement on any Intellectual Property Collateral, or if any intent-to use trademark application is no longer subject to clause (c) of the definition of Excluded Assets, the provisions hereof shall automatically apply thereto and any such
item enumerated in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall automatically constitute Intellectual Property Collateral as if such would have constituted Intellectual Property Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the
Lien and security interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party. Each Pledgor shall promptly on or before the first Quarterly Update Date provide to the Collateral Agent written notice of any of the foregoing and confirm the
attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution of an instrument in form of Exhibit 3, Exhibit 4 or Exhibit 5, as the case may
be, and file such instruments with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be. Further, each Pledgor authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify this Agreement by amending Schedules

benefit and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, such suits, proceedings or other actions to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value or other damage as are necessary to protect the
Intellectual Property Collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or
the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder. In the event of such suit, each Pledgor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all
documents requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Pledgors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this
Section 6.4 in accordance with Section 7.7 of the Indenture. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, at the reasonable request
of the Collateral Agent where such Pledgor deems prudent, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in
value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by any person.

documents evidencing Receivables and any books and records relating thereto to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Pledgor). Upon the occurrence and during the

commercial judgment and (ii) such extensions of time to pay amounts due in respect of Receivables and such other modifications of payment terms or settlements in respect of Receivables as shall be commercially reasonable in the circumstances,

 (i) Personally, or by agents or attorneys,
immediately take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any

Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other
modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall hold all amounts received
pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Collateral Agent; 
 (iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or
otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation; 
 (iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the

 -30- 








 (vi) Retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations as provided in
Article XI hereof; 
 (vii) Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral,
including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral; and 
 (viii) Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and the Collateral Agent may also in its sole discretion, based upon a direction from the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture,
without notice except as specified in Section 10.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any
of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may determine (which determination may be based on the advice of counsel)
to be commercially reasonable. To the extent permitted by law, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof
at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured
Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the
property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may
at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been
given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each
Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such
a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree. 
 SECTION 10.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Pledged
Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall
be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other
intended disposition. 
  

 -31- 








 SECTION 10.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Collateral Agent’s taking possession or the Collateral Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and
hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such
taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal,
valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article X in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in
equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized
upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor. 
 SECTION 10.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral. 
 (a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the
Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at
prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales. 
 (b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any
part of the Securities Collateral and Investment Property, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to
the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Collateral Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public
offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral or Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale
requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. 
  

 -32- 








 (c) Intentionally omitted. 
 (d) If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral or Investment Property, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall from time to time furnish to the
Collateral Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral or Investment Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent as exempt transactions
under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect. 
 (e) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 10.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other
Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby
waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 SECTION 10.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. 
 (a) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the
Collateral Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise
available. 
 (b) In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or
remedy under this Agreement or any other Security Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then
and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and
powers of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted. 
 SECTION 10.6.
Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an
assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five (5) Business Days of written notice
thereafter from the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Pledgor’s power 

  

 -33- 








 
and authority, such personnel in such Pledgor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate to permit
such Pledgor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Pledgor under the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior
functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS 
 SECTION 11.1. Application of Proceeds. 
 (a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the ABL Collateral, the proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of
any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property pursuant to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies under the Security Documents shall be applied, together with any
other sums then held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Security Documents, by the Collateral Agent as follows: 
 (i) First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including compensation to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee and its
agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Collateral Agent and the Trustee in connection therewith and all indemnities and other amounts for which each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee is entitled

 (ii) Second, to
reimburse any Secured Party for any indemnification amounts paid to the Collateral Agent in connection with any costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent;

 (iv)
Fourth, to the payment of all of all amounts of principal (or, in the case of discount notes, unpaid accreted value) owing in respect of the Secured Obligations on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective amounts of all principal
(or, in the case of discount notes, unpaid accreted value) owed in respect of the Secured Obligations to Secured Parties; 
 (v) Fifth, to all other amounts then owing in respect of the Secured Obligations; and 
  

 -34- 








 (vi) Sixth, the balance, if any, to the Issuers or Guarantors or such other
persons as are entitled thereto. 
 All applications of proceeds pursuant to clauses (ii) though (v) above shall be allocated among
the Secured Parties on a pro rata basis according to the principal (or, in the case of discount notes, accreted value), interest and other amounts owing in respect of the Secured Obligations at the time of the distribution. In the event that
any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 11.1, the Pledgors shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency. 
 (b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent prior to any distribution under this Section 11.1, each Secured Party or their Authorized
Representative shall provide to the Collateral Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, setting forth the respective amounts referred to in Section 11.1 (a), that each such Secured Party
or their Authorized Representative believes it is entitled to receive, and the Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to rely on such certificates. 
 SECTION 11.2. Sharing of Proceeds. If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured
Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with Section 11.1.

 ARTICLE XII 
 MISCELLANEOUS

 SECTION 12.1. Concerning Collateral Agent. 
 (a) Each Secured Party hereby appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, to serve as Collateral Agent and representative of the Secured Parties under each of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreement and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to act as agent for the Secured Parties for the purpose of executing and delivering, on behalf of all the Secured Parties, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and any other
documents or instruments related thereto or necessary or, as determined by the Collateral Agent, desirable to perfect the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent thereunder and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, for the purpose of enforcing
the Secured Parties’ rights in respect of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property and the obligations of the Pledgors under the Security Documents, and for the purpose of, or in connection with, releasing the obligations of the Pledgors
under the Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent is further hereby appointed as agent for each of the Secured Parties to hold the Liens on the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property granted
pursuant to the Security Documents with sole authority (subject to the Indenture) to exercise remedies under the Security 

  

 -35- 








 
Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to
take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property), in accordance with the Secured Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and
attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent
may be appointed in the manner provided in Section 12.3. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with
all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under the Secured Agreements, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Secured Agreements. After any
retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under the Secured Agreements while it was the Collateral Agent. 
 (b) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged
Property in its possession if such Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or
interests, it being understood that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters
relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to
any Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property. 
 (c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement,
certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to the Secured Agreements and its duties
thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it (who may be counsel to one or more Pledgors). The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Secured Party or the Company referring to the applicable Secured Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that it is a “notice of
default” or a “notice of event of default”, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances thereof and stating that the Collateral Agent may rely on such notice without further inquiry. The Collateral Agent shall have
no obligation or duty prior to or after receiving any such notice to inquire whether a Default or Event of Default has in fact occurred and shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any such notice
furnished to it. 
 (d) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under any other deed of
trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in
respect of such collateral, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
  

 -36- 








 (e) The Collateral Agent may rely on advice of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements
of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in Section 10.1 of the Indenture. If any Pledgor fails to direct the Collateral Agent to make an additional filing or take other action in respect of any such
change, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property for which the Collateral
Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes and the parties acknowledge and agree that it would not be feasible or practical for the Collateral Agent to search for
information on such changes. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Security Document, the Collateral
Agent shall not be required to take or refrain from taking, and shall have no liability to any Secured Party for taking or refraining from taking, any action (i) that exposes or, in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may expose,
the Collateral Agent or its officers, directors, agents or employees to personal liability, unless the Collateral Agent and such officers, directors, agents or employees shall be indemnified in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, or (ii) that is, or in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may be, contrary to any Security Document, any other Secured Agreement or applicable law. Upon receipt of such indemnity, however, the Collateral Agent shall act upon
the specific instructions of the Authorized Representatives provided in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, except for any instructions that in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may be contrary to any Security Document,
any other Secured Agreement or applicable law. 
 (g) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Security Documents, each Secured Party
shall appoint a Person as its Authorized Representative for the purpose of giving or delivering any notices or instructions hereunder and thereunder. Any instructions given by the Authorized Representatives on behalf of the applicable Secured
Parties to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be in writing signed by the Authorized Representative(s) of the applicable Secured Parties with respect to such instructions and such instructions shall certify to and for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent the outstanding aggregate principal amount (or, in the case of discount notes, accreted value) of all Secured Obligations that the Secured Parties authorizing such instructions hold. In determining whether the
applicable Secured Parties have consented to any action under the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on each Authorized Representative as to the amount of Secured Obligations held by holders represented by such Authorized
Representative. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively and absolutely on such instructions and certifications as to the identity of the applicable Secured Parties with respect to such instructions, and the Collateral Agent shall
not be required to take any action, and shall not be liable to any Secured Party for failing or refusing to act, pursuant to any instructions which are not given or delivered by the Authorized Representatives of various Secured Parties comprising
the applicable Secured Parties as required by Section 10.1. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Authorized Representative of each of the Secured Parties shall be (x) the Trustee, in the case of the Noteholders, and (y) as set
forth in the applicable Additional Secured Party Joinder with respect to any Additional Secured Obligations. 
  

 -37- 








 (h) Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this
Agreement with respect to any action taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or nonexercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or
arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the provisions of this Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as
between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no
Pledgor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 (i) Subject to clause
(f) of this Section 12.1, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to monitor, to preserve the value of or to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property upon the request of any Pledgor or any other person or to take any
other action whatsoever with regard to the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral or
Mortgaged Property and, subject to clause (f) of this Section 12.1, shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any duty or liability or be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve or protect the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or to preserve rights against prior parties.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not be required or obligated, to (i) present or file any claim or notice or take any action with respect to
any Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or in connection therewith or (ii) notify any Pledgor of any decline in the value of any Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to the collection of any
Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent, or any income thereon or any other rights pertaining thereto. 
 (j) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Secured
Agreements or for filing, refiling, recording, re-recording or continuing any document, financing statement, notice or instrument in any public office at any time or times and shall not be responsible for seeing to the provision of insurance on or
the payment of any taxes with respect to any property subject to the Secured Agreements. 
  

 -38- 








 (k) No provision of the Secured Agreements shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the
Collateral Agent to perform any act or acts, receive or obtain any interest in property or exercise any interest in property, or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it in any jurisdiction in which it shall be
illegal, or in which the Collateral Agent shall be unqualified or incompetent in accordance with applicable law, to perform any such act or acts, to receive or obtain any such interest in property or to exercise any such right, power, duty or
obligation; and no permissive or discretionary power or authority available to the Collateral Agent shall be construed to be a duty. Subject to clause (f) of this Section 12.1, no permissive or discretionary power or
authority available to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including any right to approve forms of filings, documents or instruments and rights to grant extensions of time, shall be construed to require the Collateral Agent to exercise such power or
authority and the Collateral Agent shall be permitted, before exercising such power or authority, to require a written direction from the Trustee under the Indenture, an Officers’ Certificate of the Issuer or such other supporting documentation
as the Collateral Agent may request. 
 (l) The Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including without limitation, the release or substitution of Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property), in each case in accordance with the Secured Agreements and the
Indenture. 
 (m) Upon resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Secured Agreements. Following the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the provisions of the Secured Agreements shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under the Secured
Agreements while it was the Collateral Agent. 
 (n) The Collateral Agent shall not have any liability hereunder except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct and under no circumstances shall the Collateral Agent be liable for any special, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages. 
 (o) The Collateral Agent shall be vested with all of the rights, powers, benefits, privileges and protections of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Indenture, all of which are incorporated herein and shall apply to
all of the Secured Documents. 
 SECTION 12.2. Collateral Agent May Perform; Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance
policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s,
repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral or 

  

 -39- 








 
Mortgaged Property, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged
Collateral or Mortgaged Property) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such
breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or
perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. Any and all amounts so expended by the Collateral Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions
of Section 7.7 of the Indenture. Neither the provisions of this Section 12.2 nor any action taken by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe
any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead
of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to, after the continuance of an Event of Default, take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of
the Indenture, the Notes, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to
such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all
that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. 
 SECTION 12.3. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall
have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto (other than Permitted Liens). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured
by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Indenture. Each of the
Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise. 
 SECTION
12.4. Termination; Release. When all the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full and no commitments remain under Additional Secured Debt Documents, this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement the Pledged Collateral
and Mortgaged Property shall be released from the Lien of the Security Documents. In addition, the 

  

 -40- 








 
Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement pursuant to the Indenture. Upon such
release, the Collateral Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent except as to the fact that
the Collateral Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Collateral Agent and as shall not have
been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases, terminations of
Control Agreements, Collateral Access Agreements, Intellectual Property Collateral filings and mortgages, as applicable) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property as the case may be.

 SECTION 12.5. Modification in Writing. Except as permitted by Section 9.1 of the Indenture, no amendment, modification,
supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and unless in writing and signed
by the Collateral Agent. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations, no notice to or demand on any
Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 
 SECTION 12.6.
Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Indenture, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Indenture, as to any Pledgor,
addressed to it at the address of the Issuer set forth in the Indenture, as to any Additional Secured Party, addressed to it at the address set forth in the applicable Additional Secured Party Joinder, and as to the Collateral Agent, addressed to it
at the address set forth in the Indenture, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11.6. 
 SECTION 12.7. Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Section 13.8 of the Indenture are
incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if apart hereof. 
 SECTION 12.8. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof
which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the
validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  

 -41- 








 SECTION 12.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or
supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. 
 SECTION 12.10. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this
Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the
same force and effect as if made on such other day. 
 SECTION 12.11. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. Such Pledgor shall
not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Indenture, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by
reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. 
 SECTION 12.12. No Claims Against
Collateral Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Collateral Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
respect of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other
property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Collateral Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property
is prior to the Lien hereof. 
 SECTION 12.13. No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Security Document, nor the
exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of
any of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property or shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to
perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of
such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or the other Security Documents, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged
Property or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other
documents included in the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor thereunder or to take
any action to collect or 

  

 -42- 








 
enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Pledged Collateral or Mortgaged Property hereunder. The obligations of each Pledgor
contained in this Section 12.13 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of such Pledgor’s other obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Security Documents. 
 SECTION 12.14. Obligations Absolute. All obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: 
 (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor;

 (iv) any pledge, exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any

 (vi) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor. 
 SECTION 12.15. Jury Trial Waiver. Each of the Pledgors and the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have

 EXHIBIT 7 
 Form of Collateral Access Agreement 
 LANDLORD 
 ADDRESS 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 As part of a financing transaction, Ryerson Tull, Inc. and Joseph T. Ryerson & Son, Inc., (the “Tenant”) has pledged and granted to Bank of America, N.A., as Agent for certain secured parties
(together with its successors in such capacity, the “Credit Agreement Agent”), a continuing general lien upon and security interest in its present and future merchandise, inventory and goods (“Inventory”), including
the Inventory located at each of the addresses listed on Schedule 1 hereto (each a “Property” and together, the “Properties”) and (ii) Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent for certain secured parties
(together with its successors in such capacity, the “Note Agent” and, together with the Credit Agreement Agent, the “Agents”), a continuing general lien upon and second priority security interest in its Inventory,
including the Inventory located at each of the addresses and a first priority security interest in all other personal property of Tenant. 
 We would therefore like to confirm with you, and by your execution and return of the enclosed copy of this letter you hereby confirm and acknowledge, that: 
 1. You are the landlord under the leases listed in Schedule 1 hereto (each a “Lease” and together, the “Leases”) executed by Tenant. The Leases are in full force and effect and have
not been modified or amended except as described in Schedule 1, no other person has notified you regarding security interest in the Inventory and, to the best of your knowledge, Tenant is not in default under the Leases. 
 2. The Tenant’s grant of a security interest in the Inventory in favor of the Agents does not constitute a default under the Leases, and, to the
extent (if any) that the Leases require your consent to such security interest, you hereby consent. 
 3. You do not have title to any of the Inventory, nor do you have any claims to or lien upon any of the Inventory [except as set forth in paragraph 5].7 
  

	 7
	 See note 12. 











 4. You will allow us, our auditors or our other designees access to each of the Properties, upon
reasonable prior notice, during ordinary business hours in order to inspect the Inventory and verify the types and quantify thereof. In addition, if either Agent elects to remove the Inventory from a Property pursuant to paragraph 5 below, you will
grant such Agent access to such Property, upon reasonable prior notice, during ordinary business hours to do so and will not hinder such Agent’s actions in removing the Inventory, but we shall have no obligation to remove any Inventory from a
Property or, having commenced such removal, to complete such removal. We will not interfere with your business operations and all costs and expenses of inspection, verification and removal shall be for such Agent’s account. 
 5. Subject to any requirements of law, if either Agent certifies to you in writing that an event
of default exists under one of our financing or security documents, then, without any responsibility on your part to verify the existence of such default, you will permit the Agent to enter the Property and remove the Inventory to such Agent on
written demand [provided that such Agent has cured any monetary defaults under the Lease of which such Agent has been given written notice of in accordance with paragraph 7 below].8 
 6. You agree to send the Agents, by certified mail or by overnight courier, a copy of any notice of any
material default under any of the Leases sent by you to the Tenant or any notice received by you relating to any alleged material breach or default by the Tenant under any mortgage or other instrument that may affect any of the Leases or the
Properties. 
 7. If the Tenant defaults under a Lease, you agree not to exercise any remedy under such Lease or applicable law or in equity
unless you have provided the Agents written notice of such default within 30 days of the occurrence thereof and given the Agents 20 business days to cure a monetary default and 60 business day to cure a nonmonetary default and during such time, you
will allow the Agent to enter the Property subject to such Lease and remove the Inventory as set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 above. If any default is cured during the applicable period, you agree to rescind the notice of default, but the Agents
shall have no obligation to cure any default of the Tenant or, having commenced such cure, to complete such cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your failure to provide such notice will not render you liable to the Agents in any manner or diminish
or otherwise affect your rights under any Lease. 
  

	 8
	 The Tenant agrees to use its best efforts to obtain an executed Collateral Access Agreement from each landlord that does
not include the language in brackets in paragraphs 3 and 5; provided that if a landlord refuses to execute a Collateral Access Agreement without the bracketed language notwithstanding the best efforts of the Tenant, the Tenant may deliver a
Collateral Access Agreement to the Agent executed by such landlord that contains the language set forth in the brackets in paragraphs 3 and 5. 


  

 -2- 








 8. The Agreement shall run with the land and shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the
parties hereto. 
 9. Neither Agent shall be liable under this letter agreement for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which
it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that such Agent’s conduct does not constitute wilful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. 
 The arrangement or instructions outlined herein shall become effective upon our receipt of your executed counterpart of this letter and shall continue
without any change or modification until the Tenant and/or the Agents have given written notification to the contrary to you at the above address, which notification need be signed by the Tenant or an Agent. Upon delivery of any such written
notification, you agree to take our instructions as to any processing, holding or delivery of the Inventory. If you receive inconsistent instructions from each of us, the instructions from an Agent will control until such time as the Inventory
financing has terminated. 
 Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed to limit, diminish or reduce any of the
Tenant’s obligations under any agreement it has with you or your rights and remedies thereunder (other than as expressly set forth herein) or require us to perform any obligations under any such agreements. 
 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND NOT THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 
 The Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
